Easiest way from AK to Disney Springs

[rcapolete]

We are going to AK on April 10th and have a FP for safari at 12 and ADR for T-Rex at 2. What is the best way via Disney buses to get to DS. I believe there is no direct bus but is there a resort bus that would be three best option?

You could take the bus to AKL and take a bus to DS from there. Another option would be to go to Saratoga Springs and take the walkway to DS (I think it puts you on the westside of DS)--it's only about a 10 minute walk. Would definitely go directly from your safari ride though as buses can take a while. There is also the option to take an uber or minnie van to DS directly from AK.

Thank you. I like the option Saratoga Springs. Think that will be our best option.

The Official that Disney Recommends from Animal Kingdom is the following:
After 4PM direct to Disney Springs. Before, the All Star to the hotel then the Disney Springs bus.

Its going to be a close call, Make sure you get to the Fast pass right at noon, the Safari is in the back of the park and is a 20 or so minute ride and then you will have to hope you get to the buses on time and don't miss one, it will be a while before the next one comes, you might want to keep Lyft, Uber or the Minnie Vans as an option

You can also take the bus to OKW, POR, or POFQ and then take the boat over to Springs. Guess it depends on which bus gets there first. But I agree with the comment above that AK > AKL > DS is the cleanest way.

The boat ride after the Safari will take way to long

Go to Pop or AoA, whichever shows up first. You won't have to deal with multiple stops.

Good point. Come to think about it...if your timing is good and you happen to see the Hotel Plaza bus - take it and get off at the first stop -Hilton LB. From there take the walkway right into DS

Or you could just ask your manager for a transfer...

Uber. Picks you up at AK entrance and drops you off where taxis do.

Seems like an unnecessary logistical problem that is easily avoided. Plenty of good places to eat at AK and you don't waste park time traveling somewhere else for lunch.
